Police have released CCTV images in the hope of solving a spate of break and enters in the Hunter, over the past month.
The first incident occurred between midnight and 3am on October 13, when offenders forced entry to a club at Cessnock and stole money from gaming machines.
The same cub was targeted again three day later, when money was taken from more gaming machines.
Later that month, on October 19, a man entered a service station at Bellbird with a homemade implement resembling a firearm and threatened an attendant.
Money was also taken from gaming machines from a club at Bellbird on October 22.
